Have a look at crimsonguitars.com, they do a range of stains (both spirit and water based) and finishing oils. I used the penetrating guitar finishing oil on my Winebox guitar and it gave a nice satin...

@rathius Great that you’re getting orders from people. Any idea yet how much the raffle has raised? 😃👍🎸

@robin 👍😃

Well done Robin, really didn’t think you’d get it done last weekend, we had horrible weather on the Sunday, though I know it was much better in Edinburgh. Congratulations👍😃🎸

@robin You’re welcome Robin, every little helps. Hope the weather improves tomorrow for your abseiling, it’s absolutely persisting down here at the moment, though we are a bit further north than you w...

Hi Sanjeev, Take a look at the Shop on the web site, there’s details of the membership fees on there. You can pay either monthly or yearly, whichever suits you best. You can also see the courses avail...

Here’s where I’m at with the tear out problem. Decided to trim the piece down a bit glue it back in, rough trim with chisels then sand it flush. Must say I’m pretty pleased so far. Means I can do a fe...

Thanks for the replies guys. Been having trouble getting logged on, hence the delay in replying. Next passes with the router much shallower, then a pass with the bottom bearing bit - that might have t...

@liebe Just a couple of passes with the router left to do, top bearing bit will pass above the damage and the bottom bearing bit will pass below, so all should be well.👍 Tomorrow’s another day...

@nsj It may end up being the solution, but I’m going to try other ways (see my reply to Dan). Everything is a learning experience. The beer definitely helped, so I think I might have another one, some...

@liebe Thanks Dan, the beer has definitely helped🤣 Your experiences are encouraging, didn’t want to end up with a repair I would see every time I pick up the guitar!! What I think I’m going t...

There I was happily profiling my body and the router bit goes and tears out a bit of wood. Just wondering what best to do? I have the piece of wood that broke out My next go with the top bearing route...

Nice one Dan, well done!!👍😃🎸 You’re inspiring me to get the lead out and get on with my build, just started on the body, control and pickup cavities routed, no going back now!!...

@tyreman Try using a tap and dye set to recut the thread where you can access it, it might just get it to work.

@stephen-hayes Just as a matter of interest, I measured the dimensions of the bridge posts I have: Ribbed part 12.25 diameter Non ribbed part 11.5mm Post that the bridge sits on 7.6mm. I imagine these...

@stephen-hayes Shouldn’t make any difference, the bridge sits on a post, which is 8mm I believe, and has the same centre as the post and post hole. So, as long as the holes are marked correctly it wil...

@tv101 Respect,sir!!👍😃 Often wondered if I should have a go at something like that, would probably end up with an awesome sound - most likely BANG!!🤣🤣👍
